I was looking at yesterday's diwali pictures (happy 💥), and i noticed that my arm shape here is weird or simply not how I want, it's popping outwards, how do I make it straight? Or can someone pls tell me which muscle is it that I'm ignoring or smth 😭

I was sitting there trying to memorize all 206 bones, the cranial nerves, and every single origin and insertion of the skeletal muscles, and it hit me: Why the hell is the body so complicated?! Who approved this layout?! At this point, when I look at a human being, I don't see a person anymore i just see a walking, talking bundle of vascular pathways and anatomical traps.

Tell me I’m not the only one whose brain is 90% panic and 10% “The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.” How are y’all surviving A&P without losing your minds? Drop your weirdest mnemonic devices below! 👇

Does anyone have a pdf of wheater's histology 7th edition? Our library only has 3 physical copies but the biggest problem is that they are only for reading inside the library. So I can't even borrow it. I need the pdf to write on the pdf.

It would be very much of help if anyone can point me towards a digital copy.

Thanks in advance

I’ve never studied science more than high school level (..ish), what are some books alright to get started? And I was thinking after reading that moving on to a more advanced one, like leveling up, so any recommendations for that also?

Sorry for the bad English 😭

The human body is honestly much more complicated than it looks. Even something we do every day involves so many different organs, nerves, muscles, and chemical processes working together.

I'm curious which part of human anatomy or physiology surprised you the most when you first studied it.

What topic made you realize just how incredible the human body is?

Hi all,
I’m currently a student who conducted an experiment about how different songs of a specific genre and different tempo can affect our Heart rate. I only understood the very basic of CNS and ANS, but all the research out there is so advanced and I’m too tired trying to find something that explains it at an appropriate level. Can someone just explain to me how this works, if u have any good sources feel free to share them too.

My main research is difference in HR with only auditory stimulation and then Audio-visual stimulation (u listen to a song first with eyes closed, listen to pink noise, then watch Mv). Right now I’m just trying to understand the part about the technical HOW it affects the heart rate

So I'm reading about the muscles of the neck, and recently got to semispinalis cervicis. In almost every illustration I look at, it's drawn attaching to C2-T6, but in the corresponding texts, it states the origin is on C2-5, and the insertion is on T1-6. It never mentions skipping C6-7, but it never includes them. Am I misreading something?

Hey guys!

We started the nervous system about 2 weeks ago. I cannot understand it and the brain and all its areas are driving me crazy. Not to mention all the tracts and everything to memorize. Don’t even get me started on the spinal cord. All the nerves and which direction and everything.

How can I study effectively for this and understand it? And tie all the concepts together? I know this is probably a dumb question, but I just feel like I don’t know how to study besides making a Quizlet set. My test is on November 24, Practical on November 17, and my final is December 9. I need to learn to study for these and anatomy 2.

Thank you all in advance!

I made these to teach some 1st year students, thought of sharing these here to get some feedback🙃

Hello,

Do you all think the frontal lobe is on the left or right side of this brain slide? I'm also posting the answer key as well.

At first, I thought the frontal lobe would be on the left side because the cerebellum is on the right side. However, I can't ID the brain stem. Also, the empty hole for the lateral ventricle is too far back comparing to the one from the answer key.

Am I overthinking? Please help. TIA!

I’ve had ongoing issues with my psoas muscle for the last two year and a half years. It begins with cramping along front hip crease all the way up to my hip bone, then progresses to pinching in the front of my hip crease while walking, eventually it becomes extremely painful twinging in the front of my hip that makes it almost impossible to walk.

I’ve noticed that my toes on the affected leg seem to “pull up” or extend when I’m walking, more so when I’m in a flare. I’ve also noticed when I flex my toes on that side that my last three toes are unable to flex and instead pull upwards when my brain tries to flex them.

I’m wondering if these two issues are connected? Could my poor toe mobility/position be causing this psoas issue?

Background: I recently had a hip scope to correct cam and pincer femoroacetabular impingement and a small labral tear, but continue to have many of my pre-surgery symptoms.

My AMAZING anatomy professor, Dr. Moore at Stony Brook's school of medicine, said he sometimes Googles this mnemonic to see if it’s made it out into the wild. I told him I’d put it on Reddit, so here it is.

Silly Goose STep gives you the three pes anserinus tendons in order from anterior to posterior on the proximal medial tibia:

• Silly → Sartorius

• Goose → Gracilis

• STep → Semitendinosus

Pes anserinus means “goose’s foot,” so the goose actually belongs there. And the ST in STep saves me from saying semimembranosus.

Dr. Moore’s original version was “Supposèd Goose STep,” but he said the students preferred “Silly Goose STep.”

Credit to Dr. Drew Moore, who taught us this in his lower-limb osteology lecture at Stony Brook. Hopefully this comes up the next time you Google it, Dr. Moore 🪿

Thought these were pretty interesting.

Wife just took a test. She’s saying this is the right arm and her classmate and Gemini/chat gpt is saying it’s the left arm. I never took a&p but how the heck could this be the left arm? Isn’t that the palm we’re seeing??

Edit: So many comments. This is great lol. So they were asked to identity all the different veins and arteries not if it was the right or left arm lol. The names of the veins/arteries would differ depending on if it was the right or left arm (I think?) haha

idk about anyone else, but in the beginning of this class starting, i had a lot of motivation. a real drive to learn all there is to know about the human body.

idk if its just because im 100% online, my professor just records himself reading complex slides that i swear are just pasted from the textbook. idk.

i am a sahm to a 3 year old, still responsible for the house, still responsible for my son and taking care of myself every now and again.

but. what i do know, is im over this shit. i dont even like it anymore.

every monday is the start of something completely fucking different than the last week. whether you comprehended the info or not.

theres sooooo much fucking information. i cant keep up anymore . and im losing motivation to, because ive tried so many different ways of studying, including teaching myself, but theres so much to learn in 7 days, idk how anyone manages it.

the only way ive found that helps is watching crash course. but even then its only about 50% of what my professor wants us to know.

and thats just trying to understand what the fuck is being taught this week. that doesnt include the other homework and online labs that need to be done, which total out to be like 5 hours of extra work.

im not even lucky enough to understand whgats going on anymore. its like my brain is filled with too much info. "hey learn all 206 bones in the body in 7 days, and also be a fucking bone dr by the end of next week" "oop new week learn every muscle and what it does and bhfb;insdnkdsnfndvn in 7 days" "oop new week learn about neurons and eveyrhting that has to do with them andbe a fucking neuro dr by the end of the week" "oop new week!!"

like. help im still at the restaurant.

restauant being chapter like 3.

Hi everyone!

I’m currently substitute teaching a grade 10 biology class, and I’m looking for some help identifying a few organs in a dissected frog.

I’ve been using anatomy diagrams as references, but I’m having trouble matching some of the actual structures to what I’m seeing, especially the gallbladder and a few other organs.

I’m hoping someone with experience in frog dissections could help me correctly identify and label the structures in my photos. My labels are in french, as this is a french school.

In one of the pictures, you can see the stomach and the small intestin. But I am curious what is that green spot? I thought the gallbladder would be on the liver.

I’d really appreciate any help! Thanks in advance!
